Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com The sort of flick that the lovable old MST3K boys would have dismissed as "way too easy." Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 18, 2005 Full Review James O'Ehley Sci-Fi Movie Page The DVD cover may lead you to believe that it is a cheap straight-to-video Lord of the Rings rip-off, but it is in fact a Beauty and the Beast rip-off . . .

Homem-Aranha O Achei legal essa versão da Bela e a Fera, com orçamento visivelmente ridículo kkkkkkkkkkkkk Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Not completely terrible. Great costumes (namely on the two women) and people are actually trying to act. Good effort, but not nearly sexy enough. I can't believe Sony released this either. As an indie film, it's decent. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Fractured fairy tale featuring a beast, a troll, and a witch. Estella Warren is eyecatching and one of the better models-turned-actresses, and the dramatic arc she shares with the Beast has its moments. Jane March is campy in a good way as the wicked witch, and old man Otto the sheriff is terrible in a mockable way. His first scene he looks like he's having either a heart attack or severe indigestion, has to be removed to his home, and then later has no after-effects. What was up with that then, some form of demented method acting?? Or was he really having a heart attack and they couldn't afford a reshoot? They throw in numerous bloody decapitations as a means of compensating for the several slow stretches. The CGI effects range from acceptable (the troll) to unintentionally funny (the Beast dodging the witch's lightning bolts.) As far as low-budget fantasy goes, at least they got what they paid for. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review jesse d Certainly not the worst. Im going to say decent. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Wrong picture anyway, terrible movie. Would not recommend this at all to anyone!!! ^_^. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 10 mins into the movie, I puked.. I would rather eat back my own vomit then to sit through the rest of the movie, with my eyes closed.
